Where is the drain plug on radiator for 2002 Pontiac grand am?

The drain plug on the radiator of a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am is located at the bottom of the radiator, usually on the driver's side. However, it's not always easily visible. You might need to get under the car to see it clearly. It's typically a plastic or metal plug, sometimes with a small hex head or similar fitting for a wrench.

Before attempting to drain your radiator:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source for the exact location and procedure.

* Let the engine cool completely: Hot coolant can cause serious burns.

* Place a drain pan under the radiator: This will catch the coolant.

* Be prepared for the coolant to be hot even after the engine has cooled somewhat.

If you can't locate it easily after checking these things, it's best to consult a repair manual specific to your 2002 Pontiac Grand Am or take it to a mechanic. Improper draining can damage your cooling system.
